Duck Key Trip 2021

For the 3rd summer in a row we went down to Duck Key! We love the location of Duck Key. Our accommodations are great, the fishing is great, it's conveniently located to everything we need. We had hodge podge of travelers along with us this year and Ryan's boat broke down the very first day. Combined that with Collin's boat that had problems off and on the whole week and any given time we had a pile of cousins on our boat!! (as you will see!) Makes for a little more stressful vacation but the kids were in absolute heaven and we had a wonderful time. 

The trip down we miraculously had no flat tires!! We were also able to switch up seats so the boys were able to ride down together. 
We started fishing right off the bat, right off the canal! 




Our first evening on the boat was so fun... plenty of yellowtail to catch!




This was an interesting catch... its the fish that sucks on to a shark!!

Our entire crew for the evening! And the dreamiest sunset!
The total catch!

We had a lot of success on the deep drop.


We caught several sharks over the course of the week. 
The big deep drop bounty!

Just to compare size... the grouper was as big as Crew!!
I never joined the early morning fishing trip but thoroughly enjoyed reading poolside and watching the kids swim and catch fish off the canal. 

We enjoyed yellowtail every evening.

I love this picture... the excitement of having multiple fish on at the same time!




Day trip to Coffin's Patch to do some snorkeling. 










The last day we were there was the first day of lobster season! We typically don't make it in time for lobsters but we had 1 day to snag a few...
